AN: Inspired by lyrics from "Superman" by Lazlo Bane. Just a little Furt scene set after the episode "Furt". Hope you enjoy!
Lifting the iron from the used, but still in good condition, Dalton blazer I'm pressing to wear tomorrow, I can't help but wonder how things got to this point. After my first trip to Dalton, transferring to escape Karofsky and Azimo, had seemed appealing. I had almost asked to transfer then. I knew my Dad couldn't really afford it, though he would have tried to make it happen even then.
Now that Dalton was a reality, I was suddenly torn. I was leaving behind Mercedes, Tina and yes even Rachel. Leaving behind a Glee club that I loved being part of. A group of people who had tried to stand up to Karofsky for me. Leaving the school I had gone to for the last two years.
Looking at the half-packed room, I realized I was leaving the new family I had just found too. Dad might have cleared it with the Dalton head master that I could come home whenever I wanted, but I knew he was right - the hour and a half commute from our house to and Dalton Academy, just outside the Westerville city limits, was too much to make on a daily basis.
Lifting the Blazer off the ironing board I hung it up and placed it in the garment bag with the rest of tomorrow's uniform. Turning, my eyes fell on the still empty suitcases sitting on my bed and the piles of clothes to go in them. The task seemed daunting.
"Your Dad wants to leave in a half hour."
Finn's voice brought me out of a daze, wondering how long I had been standing there.
"I thought you would have gotten further by now," Finn commented, telling me that I had zoned out for a significant period of time.
I shrugged my shoulders even as I started toward my dresser for a stack of pajamas. Taking the clothes I moved to my bed, placed them in one of the empty suitcases. Turning, I found myself blocked by Finn. I looked up to see him staring down at me with concern.
"You okay."
I shrugged.
"I'm sorry, Kurt," he says, placing his hands on my shoulders.
"It's okay-"
"No, it's not. It shouldn't have ever come to this point. You shouldn't be forced to leave McKinley because you don't feel safe. I'm sorry for my part in creating that atmosphere and sorry that I didn't do anything to stop it."
"I'm not sure I can do this alone," I tell him, my voice shaking, confessing my fears about going to Dalton for the first time.
"You're not alone. I'm a phone call away. Anyone so much as looks at you funny, let me know and I'll come set him straight. Okay?"
I smile. The image of Finn towering over one of the Dalton students is somewhat amusing. Not trusting my voice though I simply nod.
"Come on, let's get you packed before your Dad finds out you're not ready to leave when he is."
